The Memorare and Anima Christi

Prayers To Live By

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come; before you, I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me Amen.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water from the side of Christ, wash me; O good Jesus, hear me; Within your wounds hide me ; Separated from you, let me never be; From the evil one protect me; And close to you bid me; That with your saints, I may be, praising you forever and ever. Amen.
